[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a conversation needed is how do the non magnet “home” schools accommodate these high achieving students. If they’ve identified a peer group. Will they group these students together (outside of IM & Advance English)

My child was not accepted. Straight As (at an HGC) MAP scores above 250, 5s on PARCC, 99% in all four areas. Asian. Non-w school.

Anyone know if grades at an HGC were weighted equally to non-HGC schools?

I agree with this.  From both a diversity perspective and a meeting-student-needs perspective, seems like the kids from good home schools aren't getting into the magnts.  That's ok - IF the home schools are going to be ready to support them.  Yes, they're maybe better than some of the other schools, but that doesnt mean that teachers are ready to add enrichment activities for all these kids in the 99% percentiles who normally would be shipped out to magnets.

I'm glad  I live in [b]a good school area [/b](& that we chose wisely & paid for the privilege!) but want to be sure it's going to meet my kids needs.   [/quote]

Good school area or no good school area, the curriculum is the same, except for magnets. Hopefully, HS will bring some challenge, but, at middle school level, your kids will just have to slog through the regular classes with general ed children.[/quote]
